Yes, this can be a good thing. I made a similar post recently:
http://zwiki.org/ExcessiveLinkingConsideredHarmful.

Well, don't toss it away too lightly. I assume you've read about it's
advantages at WikiWikiWeb. Also I find no problem with linking in code
fragments which you mentioned earlier, because code fragments are always
quoted (', pre, ::, etc).

But yes, zwiki should support that policy choice. I want three types of
linking to be enabled/disabled on a per-wiki basis: WikiNames, [...], and
[[...]].

Anyway - are you against the idea I put out (one prominent zope wiki to
absorb some of the lost ones) ? I'm not sure.
